looking at my social calendar, it appears i am obliged to drink every night this week. it's only wednesday and let me tell you, getting tipsy every night seriously starts to suck after a while. esp drinking and eating out every night; it wears your body out, in addition to broadening the body out(wards). ugh.
last weekend i attended an annual bond party in SOMA. yeah, it's quite a geeky theme but everyone had a good time, especially me considering i started drinking at 6PM, BEFORE even heading to the party. throw in pink fans, wigs and we geeks/dorks are unstoppable /snarf!/

I was digging through my old blogspot hosted blog, where I said I intended to write some poetry, six years later I've only written two poems and looking back on the they read awful ...
In the corner of my eye,
Past the narrow window space,
In front of the muted industrial background,
A clean pure white cloth,
Punctured with a blood red circle,
Dancing in the cool autumn wind,
Too much clichéd words and generic imagery .... ugh
My second effort isn't too good either ...
Time is never a factor
When you know somebody you thought you knew
Who's actions turned out a different shade and hue
Simple white mindful expectations
Erupted by silently broken rules
False hope held by the vehement hands of fools
Encircled by a self inflicting pain
Blind to the fiery cold truth that...
Past and present are not the same
It sounds like random ranting !
S frigging amazing...
UPDATE: whoa!!!! how drunk was i last night to not only post a terrible pic of imogen but mispelled her name as well?
oh well. it was an amazing show, one of the best i've been to in recent years.
A flurry of emails flew between the Hubs, my sister and I this morning after we received Travel Zoo's email about fab deals from British Airways. We almost pulled the trigger for Christmas in London, but plans changed. No biggie, this works out too.
So our European extravaganza is going to be shorter then I originally wanted/planned. Due to work commitments, instead of a 3.5 week blowout, we're going to shoot for two weeks BUT we're going to squeeze in a trip to the 2010 Winter Olympics to make up for the shorter European trip. Awwww yeah!
Tickets to Seattle right now are pretty cheap AND we get to stay in Seattle & Vancouver for free so it looks like we'll be going to our first Olympic Games! I'm still trying to figure out what tickets we can get events to before we book tickets, but hopefully I'll get that figured out before the end of the week.
What's the longest you've ever waited in line?
An hour and a half just to buy tickets for a local film and The Time Traveller's Wife. The longest wait of my life!
